Christmas stockings
I have been looking all over for Christmas stockings this year. All of them are either cheap looking, ugly or too expensive. I need 8. So I was looking around at some craft ideas and found these stockings on the Martha Stewart website:
How freaking cute are these? So I took a run to Joanns and Michaels yesterday. Our colors are aqua and silver so I bought some dark aqua (peacock?) and white felt. But now I am wondering if I should have gotten the grey felt to go with the white. The blue is more colorful and festive, but maybe the grey with the white would be more elegant? I might go pick up some grey felt tomorrow and then I'll have both to experiment. I also bought the hold punches in the different shapes, some little jingle bells... and an assortment of little sequins and other doodads.
I'm a tiny bit worried. Everything Martha does is perfect. I don't want mine to look like the dog chewed them up! I'm planning on practicing making the holes on some scrap fabric first.
